I'm fluent in HTMl although not with this part.

I'm making a custom home page and at the top of the home page is a search box. What I would like to do is have it so there is a text box, drop down box and a search button. (I have all three already.) When you select an item in the drop down box that is where it will search. I have no idea how to implement this. I know how to get it to search one site but not how to get it to search the selected site. :(

Sites I want to search on the fly are: Amazon.com, Google.com, Google.com Imges, Download.com. I might add more if needed. It would be great to learn how now and apply those to future forms. I don't know what terms to search for to find a tutorial or know any sites that have the same. (Drop down for multiple sites) or I would try it myself.

<option value="one">one</option>
<option value="two">two</option>
</select>

Someone told me to use Javascript. I found this and used it:

http://javascript.internet.com/forms/multiple-search-engine.html

It came with a few more so right now I can search; Google.com; Archive.com; Dictionary.com; Download.com; eBay.com; HowStuffWorks.com; Google Images; Thesaurus.

Now I need to find out how to search Amazon and i'm set. :)
